The Call of Duty Comic Series: 9/11 Reaction

The Call of Duty was a series of short-lived Marvel Comics series featuring firefighters and emergency service workers dealing with paranormal phenomena in the Marvel Universe.

It was conceived in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and consists of three limited series (Call of Duty: The Brotherhood #1-6, by Chuck Austen and David Finch; Call of Duty: The Precinct #1-5, by Bruce Jones and Tom Mandrake; Call of Duty: The Wagon #1-4 by Chuck Austen and Danijel Zezelj) and a short unsuccessful run as an ongoing series in 2002-2003, that lasted four issues (by Chuck Austen and Pat Olliffe).

September 11th stuff

Here's an interesting grouping of "stuff" related to 9/11. Pins, key chains, magnets, bookmarks, and golf balls are represented here. After September 11, cheap and mass produced items like these were visible and available everywhere.

Phone Cards

These phone cards were available right after September 11th, and reflect the call for patriotism that spread across the US (and in all forms of household goods). Before 9/11, I'm 99% certain phone cards didn't have a picture of a baby wrapped in an American flag or the words "United We Stand" in bold.

*These particular cards supposedly are from a NYC firefighter who worked at Ground Zero, which is possible since these are complimentary.
